RNC Skirmish August 28, 2012

We knew there would be trouble in the right wing's Tampa paradise last weekend. The Romney camp demanded that Ron Paul endorse him if he wanted to speak at the convention. #RNCPowerGrab became a dominant hashtag for the rift today. I settled in hoping to watch a good ole convention fight.

Michelle Malkin and Dean Clancy of Freedomworks are tweeting on the AstroTeaTurfer side (they call themselves "grassroots". For a variety of logical reasons I won't call them that).

More on the Rules committee shenanigans is in this "both of Florida’s Rules Committee members, Peter
Feaman and Kathleen King, have been removed from the Rules committee and
replaced with Romney-appointed delegates"

Some claim/claimed the skirmish at RNC is a "Paulista" plot.Such as this blogger:Here’s my take on the whole deal. The Tea Party is making a stand on
principle (an understandable one, but one with unintended consequences)
that will open the door for the Dungeon Masters from the Kingdom of Paul
to turn the convention into a circus. I have witnessed this behavior
firsthand the state convention level. This type of floor fight is
exactly what they want. Ron Paul is already on the floor of the
convention whipping these people into a frenzy..... To me, the Tea Party, talk radio, and several conservative pundits are
making a mountain out of a molehill, and are simply giving the
Paulistinians a chance to make a scene at the convention.source: http://thirdgenerationpolitics.com/2012/08/28/the-scoop-on-the-rule-changes/…
